Sonia Gandhi got fungal infection after Covid, health being monitored: Congress

Sonia Gandhi, who was hospitalised a couple of days ago after testing positive for coronavirus, has got a fungal infection and her health is being constantly monitored, the Congress said on Friday.

The health update comes days after she was admitted at Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.

In an official statement shared by the Congress’s Jairam Ramesh, the party said the 75-year-old leader had “developed profuse bleeding from the nose following a recent Covid infection”. “She was immediately put under treatment and underwent a related follow-up procedure yesterday morning.

A fungal infection in her lower respiratory tract was also detected upon admission. She is currently being treated for it along with other post-Covid symptoms.”
